New Inspired By...Challenge-Napkins

 Hello everyone we have a New Inspired by...Challenge-Napkins #IB363.  We also have a New Sketch too. So much fun!  I love how you have the inspiration photo and a card sketch. Come join us I can't wait to see how you are inspired.  Don't forget to tag inspired_by_challenge on the socials. #inspiredbychallenges







On my card, so I was inspired by the sketch and the elements on the napkins.  I liked this green already embossed paper from a Michaels paper pad 12 x 12 in my stash.  I just cut it to mimic the sketch.  I also layered it on a white snowflake embossed panel 4 x 5 1/4 that you can kinda see between the green strips. So embossed on embossed.   I glued my papers to a gray A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.


Next, I die-cut a wreath and tree from a retired Sizzix Christmas Minis Thinlits dies set to mimic some of the elements on the napkins in the photo.  The snowflake dies I used are from Jaded Blossom Winter Banner Dies 2 that I cut out with white cardstock.  My sentiment is from Pink & Main Stamps called Merriest of Wishes that I stamped with black ink and cut it out using my paper trimmer.  

I hope you join us. If you win your card is shared on the Socials and you can receive a badge for your Blog.  So fun!!

Christmas Greetings

 Hello I have my last card to share for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I had so much fun this week.  I hope you did too.



Without further ado here is my card.



I honestly had another card in mind for today but I was so excited to use the Betterpress November 2025 Club Of The Month Paws In The City from Spellbinders.  I love her so much!  I used some Spellbinders specialty paper and ink and watercolored with Karin Brush Markers, water, and a paintbrush.  Just fun loose watercoloring.  I did use my paint brush to draw in some ground placement for my girl and dog.


I also used a Layering Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Layered Holly . Use VonFan10 to save.  I used inks from Concord & 9th in Poppy and Parsley for the leaves and berries.  I also used a Spellbinders Betterpress Plates from Christmas Greetings for my sentiment.  I glued my watercolored panel to a pink A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun making this card. 

 Have a Wonderful Day!💗











Birthday Shaker Card For The N2S November Mood Board Challenge

 Well hello everyone.  I'm so excited for our November Not 2 Shabby Shop November Mood Board Challenge.  I have a card to share.  I hope you join our challenge.  You can win a $15 GC to the N2S Shop.  So fun!  You may enter up to 3 times if using Not 2 Shabby Products and 1 time if using other products.


Without further ado here is my card.








I chose to make a shaker card using the New Make A Wish Paper Pad 6x6 and Ephemera Die-cut pieces.  I used the EZ Wonder Die #1 for my shaker square with the stitched circle opening. This die is so much fun you can run a 6x6 paper and this die through your die-cutting machine and get tons of die-cuts through 1 pass.  I used vellum instead of acetate and lots of fun colored stars embellishments from my stash. Foam tape was applied to make my shaker. My green pattern paper was cut to 5x5.


This pattern paper and ephemera made this card so quick and beautiful.  I love it and I just shook my card just now...and it's so much fun. Everything was glued to a 5x5 pink heavy weight card base.  The birds saying Fun is so great and fun for a Birthday card.  I hope you'll add your card to the N2S Blog here

A Day Without Coffee...

 Hello everyone.  I have another Coffee card today for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I'm loving all the coffee card I have been seeing.  So much fun.  





I chose to make a Coffee card today. I'm using a retired Essentials By Ellen Latte Love by Ellen Hutson.  I love this set and it doesn't get much love so I'm changing that.  I stamped this cup and cute bear with Memento tuxedo ink on white cardstock and colored it in with my copic markers.  I cut out the cup with the coordinating die. I tried to make it Holidayish with a red cup and Christmas Pattern paper from Sponsor Not 2 Shabby Shop A Woodland Christmas.  I used other Paper packs from Not 2 Shabby like #Coffeeandbooks Vol. 2 for the coffee stains and Cottage Roses Paper Pack for the plaid.  The other pattern paper for my last layer was from my stash.



I stamped this fun sentiment in black ink on white cardstock because it's so true and I really liked it.  I glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun making this card.  It was so easy too.
